“My family and I were preparing to head out of town for my birthday when we realized, in the middle of all the planning, that we had forgotten to schedule a sitter for Oakley. Like any dog mom would, I immediately went to Rover and was pleasantly surprised to see several sitters available. I reached out to a few profiles, and Rebecca D. responded right away, which immediately gave me peace of mind. Rebecca was incredibly kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with. We quickly coordinated a plan for dropping Oakley off, and the process was seamless. When we arrived, Rebecca was already outside waiting for us and gave clear instructions on where to park. She even invited us inside, which we politely declined, but I thought it was such a thoughtful gesture. Prior to our arrival, she also shared information about her dog’s temperament, which I really appreciated. Throughout the weekend, Rebecca kept us updated with photos and videos of Oakley, which made us feel so comfortable while we were away. When we picked him up, he was excited to see us, but it was also obvious that he had a wonderful time with her. Oakley came home happy, and we are so thankful for the care Rebecca provided. I would absolutely recommend booking with her!”

“Meredith was so easy to work with! Highly recommend! Our dogs had their extra special holiday separation anxiety and Meredith was so sweet and caring to them. She really took time to ensure they were settling in as well as possible and kept in contact with us about their behavior.”

“I’ll definitely use Yanke again! This was my first time using a dog sitter and my pup didnt even look back at me once after dropping him off. She kept me updated with pictures and even paid attention to when he needed his pain medicine and gave it to him. Love her!!”

“Edward and his wife are great. We have a lab and a doberman and they have been EXHAUSTED upon their return home - just what we wanted! We loved seeing the pictures too. Thanks guys!”

“Oreo had a wonderful time with Elizabeth. She has everything needed to make the dogs feel well taken care of. She shared photos with me and kept me updated how she was doing. Will certainly use her again!”

“Took my senior baby on short notice and did such a great job with her! Very responsive, sent nightly pictures, and gave her oral medications (and double checked when they noticed a missing medication that I forgot to remove from her care instructions!). Highly recommend!”

“Christa is super nice and took great care of my dog. She is not the easiest dog to handle with her anxiety but Christa treated her like she was her own and went above and beyond for her. I greatly appreciate all she did for her. Highly recommend! Thank you so much!”


“Gingers visit with Christian was awesome. He has a great yard for pets to stretch their legs and run. During Gingers stay I received updates and pictures of how she was doing. I highly recommend Christian to anyone that is looking for an awesome pet sitter.”

“Martine and Ronald were so wonderful! We had a 10 day trip planned and were nervous to leave Cosmo for that long. They were so kind and took great care of him! We got pictures and updates daily so we could see how he was doing and check in. He loved their yard and getting to relax in the sun. All communication was very quick and responsive, and they were super flexible with our schedule while traveling. They also handled all of his meds and supplement needs without any issues. Cosmo had a great time and would definitely love to stay with them again in the future!”


“Ashley was very flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up times. She was quick to respond and gave us daily updates about Elly! Ashley was also very proactive in asking us questions to make sure Elly was comfortable and eating her food. And gave Elly a lot of good exercise. We are so grateful!”

“We can’t thank Isabel and her husband enough for the wonderful care they’ve provided for our dog over the numerous times they’ve watched her. They recently cared for our pup while we were away on our first extended vacation, and they immediately put our minds at ease. The daily photos and updates made it clear that our dog was having a vacation of her own, surrounded by two genuinely caring people who gave her so much love, attention, and affection. Every time we leave her with them, we know she’s in the best hands. It’s such a relief to have found people we trust completely, and we are forever grateful for the exceptional care they provide. We highly recommend Isabel to anyone looking for reliable, loving, and attentive pet care. Five stars all the way!”

“Shayne & Jessica were very accommodating when we had a delayed flight and had to extend the dogs’ stay for the night. We received text and picture updates!”

“Barbara was absolutely AMAZING! This was my first time since moving to a new city and leaving my dog with someone other than a family member. Barbara made me feel so comfortable to leave my dog with her, she erased all of my worries the moment I met her! It was clear how deeply she cared for animals and evident that she would take amazing care of any animal entrusted to her. Barbara sent me regular photos and updates on how my dog was doing, I never had to question or worry that my dog wasn't treated properly. I would highly recommend choosing Barbara as a sitter to anyone looking for someone to love on your pet for a while!”

“Would recommend anyone to leave their baby with Ryanne and her family! They worked with me through being late and answered my messages really fast. My son looked right at home when I came to pick him up. Great sitter would book again!”


“Cara and Stefan’s family were wonderful and attentive caretakers for our 5 month old puppy Daisy, a rambunctious Wheaten. We received daily photos on our weeklong trip. Daisy received plenty of attention including walks, playtime, and snuggles and had such a great time!”

“Alexandria was an absolutely amazing host for Kash. She was extremely communicative, making sure to send frequent picture updates. She was also very attentive to Kash’s needs and I believe this contributed to his overall comfort away from home.”

This was my first time leaving Kairo for an extended period of time outside of work and with a sitter, so naturally I was a little nervous. From the start, Re’Anna was on point with communicating, attentive to things he needed and kept me updated throughout his entire stay. I received plenty of detailed updates about his walks, eating habits, playtime and overall mood, which gave me a peace of mind being in NY. I will absolutely be booking again. If you’re looking for someone who’s trustworthy, transparent, provide plenty of exercise and love not only from her but her kids as well then I highly recommend booking with Re’Anna. I couldn’t say thank you enough for taking care of Kairo!

Kristin and her family were so good with our two pups. They came home happy and healthy. Her home is so cute (dog wallpaper!) and they currently live near some great walking trails. Our pups settled right in and we received timely updates and pictures. We will definitely rebook with Kristin if she offers services the next time we do a weekend vacation.

Lori was absolutely awesome! We left our dog Jack with her for the first time for 14 days and he did great! He came back to us happy and healthy! Lori sent us pictures and updates every day. She followed all our directions and kept him comfortable and safe. We definitely recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs! Thank you Lori!

10/10 recommend Chase as a dog sitter! Chase provided daily updates on Sadie throughout her stay, which gave me great peace of mind. He also arranged a meet-and-greet beforehand so Sadie could get comfortable in the new environment prior to the stay. He followed all instructions carefully and communicated any updates, additions, or modifications that came up during her stay. Overall, it was a great experience with excellent service. I highly recommend Chase and will definitely be using him again!

I've left my 3 mth old puppy with Karisa twice and will definitely book her again in the future. During our most recent stay, I ran into an unexpected scheduling conflict, and Karisa was incredibly gracious and accommodating. Her flexibility provided so much peace of mind, and I truly appreciate her level of care.
